Step 3 to 4 is where the witchcraft happens. If I put all the corners on top of one another all I get a ball if shit

It's wild that in my lifetime I've seen restofthefuckingowl become a reality. Maybe AI can fold my fitted sheets someday too.

I think they literally swap out the fitted sheet for a top sheet because how would everything be even and smooth when the top corner has so much more than the bottom corner

No it's 2 & 3, how the corners are stacked. The trick to stacking the corners: Start with any corner, note if it is inside or outside by checking the seam. Slide your other hand down an edge (doesn't matter which way). Put the next corner on top of the first one, inside to inside or outside to outside. Repeat until all corners are stacked.

nah steps 1-4 are easy. I've never been able to master step 5, mine all come out being folded round instead of square.

I saw this five years ago and go to number 3 each time and then it gets rolled into a ball. For I have no magic.

Seems like a few steps should be between 3 and 4.

Its a bit like the warp drive from star trek, folding of the space time continuum. Tricky at first but its all in the wrist

I have folded fitted sheets this way since I learned from Martha Stewart about 15 years ago, and I can tell you first hand that they would never in a trillion billion bajillion mazillion years look that smooth and flat unless you freaking ironed them… and if you are going to iron them, you obviously care absolutely nothing about your time or sanity lol

I moved 9000 miles to a new place, met my housemate who was already living there, and she was showing me around the house and room. "...and I've ironed the sheets and made the bed for you..."
Ma'am, I like you and appreciate the care, we are going to be great friends, but that's the most insane thing I've ever heard.
I have to say, best sleep of my life (but it also may have been the jet lag).

I do 1-4, but then 5 is like, “oh yeah? Well now try fold this lumpy shit! Bwahaha!!” And 6 is a misshapen square of failure.

My mom taught me this when I was young and I didn't know until my 30s that it wasn't common knowledge. I'm a 2nd or 3rd generation witch 🧹

My mother-in-law can do it and has tried to teach me. She's definitely a witch because I still don't comprehend how that shit works.

Even my mom can't fold it well. If something can't be folded well by mom, it can't be folded at all

I could see it 1000 times and I never get bedsheets right. The elastic rim fucks on me every time.

- Take a fitted sheet and hold it in your hands
- Move your hands a little bit
- Move them a little more
- Magic the fitted sheet so it's completely flat and mostly folded on a surface
- Replace the fitted sheet with a mostly folded top sheet
- Finish folding the top sheet

My sweet departed mother folded those fitted bitches so well you couldn’t tell if it was a normal god fearing sheet or one of these uncooperative clowns

My mom taught us the art of folding fitted shirts when we were kids. It’s a skill I’ve used to impress every girlfriend since. 🚀

I fold down the top third and then in half and half again. This puts all of the corners in the middle.

Do people really have a hard time folding fitted sheets. Just put all four corners together, it is very simple

I just shove all the sheets and pillow cases from a set into another pillow case from that set.
